Letter: We need better legislation in Utah by outlawing common sense. Go get ‘em, Phil.
Finally, a politician who thinks outside the box.
(Chris Samuels | The Salt Lake Tribune) Rep. Phil Lyman, R-Blanding, asks a question during a meeting of the House Public Utilities, Energy and Technology Committee at the Capitol, Monday, Jan. 29, 2024.
Phil Lyman, a Utah Republican lawmaker and candidate for governor, is blaming the collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key bridge on the culture wars surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).
Finally, a politician who thinks outside the box. Go get ‘em, Phil, and while you’re at it, we need to blame the brine shrimp for shrinking the Great Salt Lake. We need to blame our drought on those who don’t pray. We need to clean our air by building more coal-fired power plants. We need to protect our precious lands by drilling into them. We need better legislation in Utah by outlawing common sense. You are the obvious choice to lead this effort.
Mike Dunn, Draper
